Remember the Super Bowls of the Past With This Classic Ad From THE SIMPSONS

This Sunday the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons will go head to head in the Super Bowl. This will be the first time the Falcons have appeared in the Super Bowl since they lost to Denver in the 1999 Super Bowl. Coincidentally, this video featuring a previously "lost clip" from The Simpsons aired before that very Super Bowl! Reddit, of course, gets credit for the random YouTube detective work, but let's consider how amazing this was for the time it was created!

Can you imagine The Simpsons having a tie-in feature with the Super Bowl now? I'm sure it could still happen, but the series doesn't have anywhere close to the popularity it did back in 1999. Many would consider that the peak of the series, as the series saw a decline in viewership in the following years, but it's still kicking! I don't think Fox could cancel The Simpsons at this point even if they wanted to, the backlash would be too great!

I guess the video isn't incredibly impressive, but definitely worth sharing with a sports fan if you happen to be the only person who doesn't know football at the upcoming Super Bowl party.
